Today’s Sponsor: Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association
Virginia hospitals have led the way on the passage of consumer friendly health care reforms to benefit patients and families. This includes laws protecting Virginians from surprise medical bills in emergency situations, the promotion of awareness about financial assistance policies, insurance and health care price transparency rules, and the ability for patients to request a good faith price estimate three days prior to scheduled hospital care. Polling shows many people don’t know about these reforms. To raise public awareness, the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association launched the Control Your Care campaign to equip people with this information. Visit controlyourcare.com to learn more.
